Chapter 139 Repertoire of Divination Class
Tom, who was under the Disillusionment Curse, strolled towards the bedroom, not in a particularly happy mood.
Mrs. Gray's words, "There are eyes everywhere in the castle," always lingered in his mind, making him a little uneasy.
He could think of an improved detection spell disguised as a pattern on a tapestry. Doesn't anyone have a similar idea? In other words, are the portraits on the wall and the statues in the corners naturally the school's spies?
Tom Riddle was noticed by Principal Dumbledore when he was a student and continued to pay close attention to him. From the beginning, he was jokingly called a "shadow of the past" by the Lord of Black and White. How could Principal Dumbledore not pay attention to him? His movements?
He could already roughly confirm that the inexplicable shadow anima was another incarnation of the Dark Lord. He only needed the final confirmation of Mrs. Gray's news - since the Dark Lord once again tried to seduce him, could Principal Dumbledore really be here? Leave it alone?
Or is it that this school year's indulgence is itself a test for him?
He seemed to be able to see the calm blue eyes behind Mrs. Gray's round glasses.
If this was really a test of humanity from Dumbledore, he found it quite disgusting, to be honest. And he dared to say that no matter what choice he made, whether it was what Dumbledore expected or whether it disappointed Dumbledore, he would always tolerate him on the grounds that he was still a child.
"A condescending protector." He recalled the Dark Lord's evaluation of Dumbledore in the first grade. He had to admit that perhaps Dumbledore was a more tolerant and loving elder, but the Dark Lord was the one who was more familiar with the dark side of human nature. .
Maybe this is the Dark Lord's conspiracy? The more openly the Dark Lord showed his dark side and his concern, the more Dumbledore worried that he would make a wrong move; and the more Dumbledore worried about him, the more he paid attention to his every move; the more secretive he became. Too much attention puts more psychological pressure on people, and can trigger people's rebellious psychology.
Yet it was impossible for Dumbledore not to pay attention to him. Even Dumbledore understood the Dark Lord's conspiracy and deliberately allowed him room to move - but it was as if he allowed his mutant magic to "freely roam" in the house, and he just pretended not to look. As long as he spotted Dumbledore's looming gaze once, no matter whether he could understand it or not, disgust and resistance, the grievance and anger of not being trusted would inevitably grow in his heart.
Both of them are quite annoying. Tom thought wearily.
Following Dumbledore's bright guidance and becoming the talent Dumbledore expected; and not being able to stand the temptation of Dumbledore's looming manipulation and turning his back and defecting to the Dark Lord, are both not the same as implementing their will and doing what they want? Willing puppet? These two people seemed to have decided that he had only two options, and no one asked him what he wanted.
So annoying. Tom thought that he was addicted to magic because it was particularly interesting. If he really wanted to pursue something, it was probably to seek eternal life and freedom. He is not interested in saving the world, and as for destroying the world, that is not something he can do.
He returned to the Gryffindor common room gloomily, and saw Harry and Ron staring at him in the corner, who were even more unhappy than him. Hermione sat aside and seemed to be concentrating on her homework, but in fact she kept tilting her head and winking at him.
"Tom." Harry called his name, his voice unusual. "I want to talk to you."
Tom took a deep breath, feeling even more tired.
"What's the matter?" he asked as calmly as possible, and sat down on the sofa, guessing that something was wrong with Malfoy's acting.
"Where were you just now?" Harry's voice was tight.
"Not going anywhere," Tom shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "just wandering around after class."
If Malfoy were here, he wouldn't ask further. If Calvin or Justin were here, they wouldn't choose to continue digging into the matter. But Gryffindor wasn't that good at being patient - Ron couldn't hold himself back and asked him angrily: "How could you be friends with Malfoy!"
Tom clearly heard Hermione let out a long sigh hiding behind the upright book.
"That's right." The witch closed the book with a snap, and used a fierce look to force Ron to temporarily swallow the rest of the question, and forced Harry to turn his face away angrily, and then said He nodded with a mature demeanor and explained the matter from the beginning.
Sure enough, as Tom speculated, there was something wrong with Malfoy's performance.
In fact, Malfoy cannot be entirely blamed for this. According to Hermione's description, he could barely sit in the Divination classroom and fiddle with the crystal ball on the table boredly. Although it is impossible to imitate Tom's charm perfectly, there is still no problem in maintaining a blank expression and pretending to be a Tom Locke who is in a bad mood.
To be honest, Tom Locke is of course very sweet when he is willing to coax people, but just from the fact that he does not have many close friends in the academy so far, it can be seen that in the eyes of others, Tom Locke is more or less a sweetheart. Some geniuses are arrogant because of their talent, otherwise Malfoy would not have used the Dark Lord template of "extremely intelligent, powerful magic, domineering temperament, weird personality, many friends, but also a loner" to trap him.
So when "he" was sitting expressionless, not many people dared to take the initiative to tease him.
Except for Professor Trelawney who was in the room.
Professor Trelawney has a problem, except that she likes to choose a "lucky student" every school year to announce that the other person will die tragically - of course, according to Professor McGonagall, no one has been chosen by her yet. In addition to students actually dying, she also especially likes to watch students "predict" their own misfortune.
Whose homework is badly compiled will get high marks.
The worse the score, the higher the score.
She would also read her favorite tragic prophecy aloud in class - thank God, she would not ask students to read and perform on stage like Lockhart, otherwise everyone's homework would definitely be very restrained and restrained, so as not to stand on the stage. Died of shame on stage.
And what she drew today was the homework of the famous Harry Potter.
Unfortunately, Malfoy, who plays "Tom" today, has experienced this kind of battle for the first time. 7K妏揩
Think about it, dozens of people are sitting crowded together in a low loft filled with pink smoke, similar to the old-fashioned teahouse decoration; some people look fanatical and focused, while others look numb and yawning, but all of them have faces. The room was dimly illuminated by the dim scarlet light; and a disheveled witch dressed like some exotic jewelry display stand was sitting in front of them, talking about the next thing in a deliberately light and ghostly voice. Who will slip and fall headfirst into the toilet next week, or who will accidentally have his tongue bitten off by his partner during a date... It will be a really weird scene.
It’s really hard not to laugh out loud.
